I got as far as the scene where several CDC scientists, entering an outbreak of unknown transmission and scope, allow themselves to have their hands injected with an untested item (hand waving pass thingy) - all from the same exact device.

The pilot didn't grab me, so I won't be back. I loved the elevator music as the main theme though. It's the only thing that caught my attention precisely because it didn't fit. In fact, it made me wonder if the show would include a bit of absurd humor because of that. It didn't.

The actors name is Catherine Lemieux, and she is playing the character of Dr. Doreen Boyl.

She is a person with feelings.

And frankly when I used the word "Huge", I was looking at Pam from Archer, who is a 2 dimensional cartoon bare knuckled sumu wrestler, and it kinda all bled together.

But it's not just "Doreen's" sturdiness, it's the southern accent (Pam is not southern? She sounds like a pig squeeling most of the time, that's Southern.) and forthrightness, which demands the two figures by compared side by side.

I want her physically because she's big, so I should be able to talk about how great her bigness is.

BUT, the biggest problem I had... she found the monkey cages, she was attacked by a monkey, YET, didn't bother to tell anyone?!? For like a DAY?

And no one ASKED, "hey, where's Doreen?"

I couldn't wrap my head around that. You guys are a team, yet, Doreen seemed to not tell anyone some REALLY IMPORTANT SHIT that just went down...

I'm sticking around, hoping the characters and the writers get a little smarter.

What killed me in episode 2, is the Army engineer guy talking her out of telling her boss the monkey was missing. In 1 day this newbie has instilled massive distrust in her for a guy she's known/worked with for years, and she places it all in HIM?

Yeah, right.

Then he leads her to a field of frozen monkeys and it still doesn't make her want to tell her boss there's something rotten in Denmark?

Yeah, right.

When is Jeri Ryan supposedly showing up?

Will things get better or worse when she does?

There's just so much an actor can do to overcome poor writing.
